Pink and Green Stripes

Question

I get pink and green stripes when I try to play back HDV or XDCAM EX footage

Answer

There is an incompatibility between CatDV and a recent Apple software update that can cause playback issues with certain codecs, especially when using the separate media player dialog. This is fixed in CatDV 10. Alternatively, if you are able to revert to AppleHDVCodec version 1.6 or earlier this also resolves the issue.
